Media Alert: SPUR 280 ROAD CLOSURES BEGIN SEPTEMBER 19, 2018

FORT WORTH, Texas – Weather permitting, Spur 280 Westbound (WB) will be closed beginning Wednesday, September 19 at 9 a.m., through Tuesday, October 9 at 5 a.m., while the Eastbound (EB) portion of the highway will be closed between Friday, September 21 at 8 p.m., and Monday, September 24 at 5 a.m.

Out of an abundance of caution, the highway closures are taking place to ensure the safety of both drivers and the construction crews beneath Spur 280 during the construction of a railroad bridge below the traffic flyover as well as construction activity occurring on the WB Spur 280 Bridge.  Traffic will be detoured:

WB or into downtown Fort Worth:

I-30 to the Lancaster or Henderson exits
I-35 to the Belknap exit (Belknap will be closed overnight due to I-35 construction, requiring motorists to use I-30 during the overnight hours)
EB or out of downtown Fort Worth

I-30 enter from either Lancaster or Henderson
I-35 enter from Weatherford
The Spur 280 road closures are part of the TEXRail project, the new 27-mile commuter rail line that will extend from Downtown Fort Worth, across northeast Tarrant County, through North Richland Hills and Grapevine, and into Dallas Fort Worth International Airport’s Terminal B.  The line is scheduled to begin service in January 2019.
